Cross-sector Collaboration

Northwest HIDTA strives to facilitate collaboration between public health and public safety partners to reduce substance misuse and enhance community safety.

We offer support to help agencies, among other things:

1. Foster effective partnerships;
2. Share important information; and
3. Implement collaborative solutions.

Not all strategies presented will be the right fit for every community; rather, these ideas are intended to be a starting point for a local approach and thoughtful decision-making. Readers are encouraged to review the ideas and adapt them based on the unique needs and capacity of their communities.
